Add Another
Cup As Prize
This year another loving cup has
been offered as an additional prize
to th 1 rural on" teacher schools
featuring the best school exhibit at
the County Fair, making three lov-
ing cups to be presented instead of
two as heretofore.
The new cup recently supplied was
donated by the firm of Stone &
Hitchcock, local druggists.
This will separate the one and two
teacher schools and supply a separate
cup for each class school. Hereto-
fore, the one teacher school was
forced to compete with two teacher
schools, which worked some what of
a hardship on them. From now on
the one teacher schools will comp 'te
with one another and the two teacher
schools witn one another and the
three and four teacher schools and
up with one another.
The cup offered two teacher schools
was donated by Harvey and Son
Auto Company two years ago. The
other cup offered three teacher
schools and up was presented by th -
J. F. Cobb Company some two or
three years ago.

The Burleson County Fair has
grown to such large proportions this
year, that more room had to be
sought, and a« a consequence the
rural community exhibits this year
will be separate from the other de-
onrtnients entirelv. The growth in
number this year has necessitated a
much larger space and as a result,
the ■>!<! armory building below the
Post Office has been secured and all
the community school exhibit- will
be display -d there. It is a roomy
building and is going to inak an ex-
"elb'Tit show room, the best provided
in the history of the fair.
Booths the entire length of the
building on either side, one across
the I in k the full w idth of th 1 build-
ing and a shorter one through the
center have been erected, providing
between 250 and .'100 feet of con-
nected space almost, giving plenty
of room to all and affimiing a
splendid opportunity f >r display.
There will be ample room for
spectators and passage without
crowding. One of the good features
is. the exhibits will b - altogether, un-
separated a they formerly were at ¡
previous fairs.
The culinary, needle and art and I
other departments will be displayed,
in the basement of the court house, j
The livestock department will be
located on the old Hudson lot across
from the court house. The poultry
department will be placed on the
court house lawn as formerly. Mer-
chants' booths will be established in
the court house arid on the lawn. The
general arrangements will be prac-
tically in line with former fairs, ex-
cept for the community exhibits.
Visitors attending tne fair should
not overlook all the various locations
and features.
